Blackwater Strange Poison

Years ago, after Shen Xiu graduated from Saint Orchid Academy, she confessed her love to Ye Han but was rejected. Drunk and heartbroken, she accidentally triggered a mechanism in her room and fell into a cave hundreds of meters deep, where she met the Old Monster.

As she was the first human the Old Monster had encountered in hundreds of thousands of years, it didn't have the Black Water Mysterious Turtle kill her. Instead, it sent her back to the surface on the condition that she collect the blood of Legendary Demon Beasts to help it break its seal and escape.

However, Shen Xiu never returned, and there was no news of her for years.

"Hand it over!" Yu'er's face was as cold as frost as she extended her small, pale hand, which had just washed away the dirt, towards Shen Xiu.

What it wanted was, of course, the blood of Legendary Demon Beasts.

Shen Xiu had long forgotten their agreement. How could she, a human, release a Demon God to harm her own kind? She asked confusedly, "Hand over... what?"

"Slap!"

Yu'er suddenly slapped Shen Xiu's seductive face. Shen Xiu immediately felt as if chili oil had been smeared on her face, burning fiercely.

"The blood of Legendary Demon Beasts! Have you forgotten the agreement between us?" Yu'er glared with her almond-shaped eyes, her small peaks rising and falling beneath her chest wrap.

"No!" Shen Xiu shook her head.

"I don't think you'd dare forget your agreement with this god. Where did you hide it? Take it out!" Yu'er said with a smile, reaching out to take it.

Shen Xiu floated in the bathtub, took two steps back, hunched her neck, and replied softly, "There is no blood of Legendary Demon Beasts..."

The smile on Yu'er's face instantly froze: So I got excited for nothing!

Humans were truly a bunch of untrustworthy fellows.

Seeing Yu'er about to make a move again, Shen Xiu hurriedly explained, "I'm just a Little Silver, my strength is too low. A single glance from a Legendary Demon Beast would probably kill me. Forget about their blood, I can't even get their urine. I want to help you, but I really can't!"

Yu'er narrowed its almond-shaped eyes and thought to itself: Asking her to deal with Legendary Demon Beasts is indeed asking too much.

"Forget it!" Yu'er waved its hand helplessly: It's better for this old man to do it himself.

Although the cultivation of the puppet it controlled was not yet Bronze one-star, its cultivation speed would experience a qualitative leap after fusing with the Poison Godhead. It was confident that it could raise her cultivation to Legendary one-star within five years.

Besides, even if her cultivation was not yet Legendary, with its mastery of poison, it could easily kill Legendary powerhouses.

As long as it could gather the blood of five types of Legendary Demon Beasts – wood, fire, water, metal, and earth – it could release its true form.

However, before officially starting its cultivation, it still had one thing to do.

That was to tear apart the little bastard who burned it to death with fire, and then snatch back the Water Godhead!

"I'm asking you, did you see anyone exactly like her crawl out of the cave just now?" Xiangliu pointed at Yu'er's rosy little face and asked Shen Xiu.

"No!" Shen Xiu shook her head, indicating she hadn't seen anyone. "I fell asleep in the bathtub just now. When I woke up, I found you sneaking out of the bed. I didn't see anyone else."

Did she have to tell the Old Monster that she not only saw that person but also had an incredibly intense experience with him?

Did she have no dignity?

"You didn't see anyone?" Yu'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I don't care if you saw anyone or not. You must help me find him. You have one day. I'll come find you tomorrow morning. If you can provide me with some clues, I'll give you the antidote for the Blackwater Strange Poison!"

Yu'er walked out the door with its hands behind its back.

"Forgot to tell you! If you're poisoned by my Blackwater Strange Poison, you'll explode and die within twelve hours if you don't take the antidote or have intercourse with a man who truly loves you. This poison is incurable and acts up every twelve hours." Yu'er cackled lewdly.

"Struggling is futile. Just do as I say obediently." After the reminder, Yu'er walked out of the room with its hands behind its back, swaggering.

As for where it was going, Shen Xiu had no way of knowing.

"Bastard! Son of a bitch!" Once the footsteps disappeared, Shen Xiu cursed loudly, pounding the bathwater hysterically. Rose petals scattered everywhere, and wastewater flowed all over the wooden floor.

She was truly unlucky today! Not only had she lost her virginity and her wealth, but she was also being threatened with paintings and poison, and by two subordinates she despised the most.

"You will pay for this! I will get revenge!! I, Shen Xiu, swear to the Heavenly Dao!!!"

After venting for a while, Shen Xiu jumped out of the bathtub and took out clean and tidy clothes from the wardrobe to change into.

Despite her frustration, life had to go on.

Today was her first day teaching at Saint Orchid Academy, and she couldn't be late, lest she leave a bad impression on the teachers and students.

If she couldn't help her second nephew win over the city lord's daughter, her half-brother, the Family Head, would take her life even without those two scumbags making a move.

The dawn grew stronger, and the city's silhouette was already vaguely visible in the morning light.

Saint Orchid Academy Main Entrance.

A young man, even stronger than a bear, was stopped by the duty guard.

The young man wore a red camisole on top, revealing his sturdy arms like iron pillars, blue shorts and flip-flops below. Additionally, he carried a light yellow straw hat on his back.

From any angle, this fellow didn't look like a student of the academy; he looked more like a hooligan looking for trouble.

"What are you doing here?" the guard asked gruffly, holding a white-wax wood spear.

"Here to attend school! What's up?" the young man scratched his short black hair.

"Attending school? Show me your identification plaque!" The guard extended his rough, calloused, dark hand.

The identification plaque was equivalent to a student ID. Thousands of students entered and exited every day, and checking each one was too troublesome. Guards usually didn't check, and students usually didn't carry them.

"I don't have one!" The young man spread his hands. "I'm not a student of Saint Orchid Academy yet. I'm here to complete the enrollment procedures. I've already gathered the tuition fees, look!"

The young man took out a wad of crumpled hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and showed them to the guard.

The gatekeeper squinted his cloudy old eyes: He's talking so seriously, maybe it's true.

However…

"You're late. Registration closed yesterday. Come back next year!"

The young man froze.

"It's only one day late, not a month! I can catch up on the missed classes. Please just let me in, sir!"

He still wanted to try.

"No! Rules are rules! Stop bothering me and leave!" The gatekeeper was very impatient.

The rules were set by the academy leaders, and he was just a lowly gatekeeper who couldn't change them. He would retire in a few months, and all he needed to do now was his job, stand his final post, and avoid any trouble.

"I want to see Vice Principal Ye Sheng! If he says I can't enroll, I'll leave immediately and won't bother you again!" The young man grabbed the gatekeeper's hand and quietly slipped him a hundred-yuan bill, begging, "Sir, my dear sir, please help me just this once!"

The gatekeeper clutched the bill, his resolve wavering.

"Get lost! A good dog doesn't block the road!"

Suddenly, a scolding voice rang out from behind the young man.
